Marty Barringer (left) and Library Board
member Paul Anthony B'64 in the Gunlocke Reading Room
of Special Collections.
Many of you know Marty (George M.) Barringer, Associate University
Librarian for Special Collections and a member of the Library's
advisory board since the 1970s. After 35 years, the Library will
reluctantly say goodbye to Marty when he retires at the end of
this year.
Marty's wisdom and wit have enlivened his work and ours. But
his deep knowledge of so many areas in special collections--from
musical autographs to handwriting authenticity, from rare Jesuit
materials to contemporary espionage fiction--is not likely to
be matched easily. Marty has sown the seeds of a great garden
of special collections and has watched them grow over the years.
Now, he yields to his successor the joy of cultivating that garden
and devising new ways to enrich it.
All our best wishes go with him in his future endeavors.
